Claim of: One out of five veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are diagnosed with PTSD, veteran’s account for 20 percent of U.S suicide.
II. Attention Getter:
PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different...

Breed Specific Legislation
General Goal: To persuade.
Specific Goal: I will persuade my audience to oppose breed specific legislation in the United States.
Thesis: Breed Specific Legislation is ineffective and should be outlawed in the United States because breed identification methods are flawed, no dog breed is truly more dangerous than another, and the cost to enforce breed specific legislation is high.
Introduction
The American Pet Products Association states that 56 million American households own a dog. That’s half of all homes in the United States. Half of us know the affection and companionship of a dog. Half of us may even consider our dogs as a part of the family, and half of us would understand the pain of losing one of our pets. Laws are now being passed that are banning certain dogs from cities, counties, states, and even entire countries. It’s called Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL for short, and its sole purpose is to remove and euthanize dogs from American homes that are considered dangerous. BSL does not work, and should not be considered because breed identification methods are flawed, no dog breed is truly more dangerous than another, and the cost to enforce breed specific legislation is high.

People are often familiar with the simile “like a chicken with its head cut off,” and receive it as a joke. However, that exact same chicken, now injected with chemicals and hormones, is appearing in our food without the knowledge of the general public. Consumers have the right to know exactly what substances they are consuming, according to Gregory Jaffe, the director of a biotechnology advocacy group; therefore, restaurants should not be allowed to sell genetically modified chickens under the name “chicken.” To prove this point, we will focus on the following three main points: first the issue of unpredictability, next contamination, and finally the hidden reason why companies refuse to label genetically modified chickens.
A major issue with genetically modified food is disrupting the balance of nature, thus resulting in unpredictability. There is a reason why after a major disaster in nature, succession occurs to restore equilibrium. Just like with nature, genetically modified food have the chance of backfiring, because they are “unpredictable, they are untested, and they are unlabeled” (Cummins). Since there are risks with consuming this kind of food, people should have the choice to decide for themselves whether they would like to continue buying those products. That is only possible if restaurants label their food.
Contamination in this kind of food appears. Those with severe allergies could...

I. Introduction
I am going to start giving a question “Would you report to the police if you see your neighbor smoking marijuana?” to audience.
I then will say that their attitude is changing to legalizing marijuana.
II. Body
A. Need
Indiana has the 17th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States, with 14.4 per 100,000 people suffering drug overdose fatalities. Legalizing Marijuana would resolve this problem because pot can reduce use of strong drugs.
Also, 23 states and DC have already Legal Medical Marijuana because it has medicinal purposes. Thus, Indiana people who are suffering from cancer, HIV and so on should have a right to use medicinal purposes.
B. Satisfaction
If there are some concern about side effects of legalizing marijuana, it would be useful for the Government to have a pilot test.
C. Visualization
Marijuana can reduce use of strong drugs. For example, in the case of the Netherlands which already enforces the legalization of pot, other drug use is markedly decreased.
Marijuana has medicinal purposes: stopping HIV, slowing the spread of cancer cells, being an active pain reliever, helping with other neurological damage.
III. Conclusion
If the positive aspects of marijuana outweigh negative, we should give careful consideration to its legalization.

Rhetorical Essay of George W. Bush’s Speech, 9/11 Address to the Nation
I read and watched George W. Bush’s “9/11 Address to the Nation” and found the speech to be ineffective. The President’s speech started off and ended efficiently with it’s appeal to pathos, however, it’s lack in logos overshadowed this and made the speech unsuccessful. This essay will examine the President’s use of rhetorical appeals and how they made his speech a failure.
The president’s speech started off with an appeal to pathos by sounding sympathetic and playing on the audiences’ emotions. He spoke of all the victims the attack effected. Bush says, “The victims were...men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors.” Bush also used descriptive words that almost painted a picture of how horrific the attack was in saying, “the pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge--huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger.” The second paragraph of the speech also appealed to pathos by Bush acknowledging his audiences’ sense of patriotism stating, “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world....
